Danke Alisa,

The video was good in many ways and I know lots of phrases,

The only problem was it was a bit fast for most of these phrases and kinda put me in a confused position and had to take more time to go back and my phone is bad for that because it takes a lot of time,

Other than that the video was good,

Again, Danke and can’t wait to learn more as I am really bad but I am getting there.

Hi Elizabeth,

Yes, both sentences are perfectly right.👍

And there is nothing wrong with "Ich denke nein." either, depending

on the context.

Thank you for your comment.

If you have any further questions, please let us know.

The other day I said to someone, "Ich denke nein." Haha. 😆😅😜 Now I know that I can say, "Ich glaube schon" oder "Ich glaube nicht." Right?

Danke!
